The Mountain Meadows Massacre stands without a parallel amongst the crimes that stain the pages of American history. It was a crime committed without cause or justification of any kind to relieve it of its fearful character... When nearly exhausted from fatigue and thirst, [the men of the caravan] were approached by white men, with a flag of truce, and induced to surrender their arms, under the most solemn promises of protection. They were then murdered in cold blood.

Editors Note: John D. Lee, was the only person ever punished for the massacre and he was shot by a firing squad twenty years later at Mountain Meadows. He was hidden, protected, and then thrown down by BRIGHAM YOUNG. The LDS church continues to do its cover-up for Brigham Young, an out of control mass murder. Brigham Young has a lot of excess baggage to cover-up, without including the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
